Robert is out on holiday for a couple of weeks, so I've taken the liberty of updating the impact section. I think it's right, but please let me know if you need more info.
** Description changed: [Impact] In the same way as apturl is set as the default apt: URL handler, we should do the same for GNOME Software with the snap: URL. + + The prime impact for users will be support for snap:// URLs in the + browser. This will allow web sites to provide a "click here to install + this snap...." type links which will take the user in to Ubuntu Software + where the snap will be preselected. e.g. + http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/02/snap-url-support-coming-ubuntu- + software-app-plus-love-news (link towards the bottom as an example of + the sorts of things websites will be able to do). + [Test Case] Run: $ xdg-open snap:moon-buggy Expected result: GNOME Software opens with information on the moon-buggy snap Observed result: Get error about "specified location not supported" [Regression Potential] Low, we set a default where there was previously none. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1666100 Title: Use GNOME Software as default snap: URL handler To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/desktop-file-utils/+bug/1666100/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
